Abstract

Traditional medicines cure cancer, inflammation, and other illnesses using the leaves of Psidium guajava L. (Myrtaceae). The hypoglycemic, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer effects of guava are well established. Triterpenoids, sesquiterpenes, and flavonoids were investigated in this study as possible targets of guava leaf components. The goal of the current review is to raise awareness among the general public about this substance's enormous potential for both preventing and treating a number of prevalent ailments.

Keywords: Traditional medicines, Psidium guajava L
